Chapter 135: The Man Who Covets Beauty
Warm blood gushed with popularity.
The men in black knew how powerful Qin Changhuan was, and they all retreated and formed an orderly formation again, wanting to find an opportunity to attack again.
Qin Changhuan blocked a folding fan in front of her, her phoenix eyes were awe-inspiring, her red robe was flying in the wind, her ink-like hair was a little messy, she gasped slightly, waiting for an excellent opportunity to make a move.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining number of people was determined.
She can be 100% sure of winning, but she can't be sure that she won't get hurt.
Suddenly, one person rose into the air and hid behind the others, Qin Changhuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he rushed to the center of the formation at a speed that no one could react to, and the beauty fan opened and closed, and had already rushed towards the head of the leader.
Two or three people wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late, they all underestimated Qin Changhuan's ability.
When the sharp blade stabbed into the throat, the leader probably didn't know exactly when he had revealed his identity.
Obviously communicating in a language that the Ember people didn't understand, and obviously he was dressed the same as the others, was it just because he hid behind the crowd just now?
Everyone in the world knows that the thief captures the king first, so Qin Changhuan determined the leader of the other party from time to time in the fight, and she found that only when she fought with that person, the rest of the people would come to block, and just now he hid behind everyone, which confirmed her guess.
The leader fell to the ground in response, and suddenly there were many heavy footsteps around him, and the men in black looked at each other and fled in a hurry along the road they came.
Qin Changhuan raised his feet to chase after him, but his eyes were shaken by something, and when he raised his eyes again, the man in black was completely hidden in the infinite darkness.
"Sister Qin!"
"Changhuan!" It was Tang Ruoxu's voice, a little urgent, a little concerned.
Qin Changhuan put away the folding fan, trying to find what had just caught his eyes, but Tang Ruoxu stopped in front of her, held her shoulders with both hands and examined it carefully, and found that her arm was injured, and frowned distressedly.
"You're hurt." His eyes widened, but he found that Qin Changhuan's eyebrows did not have a trace of wrinkle, she had always been so strong, even if she lost half her life, she didn't say anything, this little injury was nothing.
But he was genuinely worried.
Tang Ruoling snickered in a low voice on the side, "My third brother has never cared about me like this." ”
Tang Ruoxu glared back at her next words with a look.
"Quick, hemostatic medicine!" He turned to Lin Zhi and ordered.
"No need." Qin Changhuan raised his hand and pushed him away, and walked straight towards a shiny thing on the ground, Tang Ruoling hurriedly followed.
It is a token, made of brass with a layer of golden powder on its surface.
She tore off the corner of her clothes casually, and picked up the token with her hands, the font on it was really difficult to understand, if her brother Qin Changan was there, he might be able to decipher it a little.
"Could it be that those people accidentally fell just now?" Tang Ruoling said, raising his hand to touch it.
"Be careful!" Qin Changhuan screamed, and at the same time dodged Tang Ruoling's hand, "This may be poisonous." She leaned in and sniffed, but didn't smell anything.
Tang Ruoxu had already checked the black-clothed man on the ground, either dead or injured, but the injured one was also foaming at the mouth, and he had just taken the medicine.
"It seems that they came prepared." Tang Ruoxu always showed people indifferently, but at this time he frowned, which made people not get used to it.
Turning his head, he saw Qin Changhuan inspecting the corpse on the ground, and leaned over to see the mark behind the corpse's ear, a cross. His complexion changed slightly, and he remembered many things.
"It's like a mark of some organization, maybe you can look it up with this token." Qin Changhuan got up and looked at Tang Ruoxu's expression that was not quite right, "Prince, what did you think of?" ”
Tang Ruoxu picked up the token through the fabric and looked at it, in addition to the smell of brass itself, there was also a strange taste that was familiar and indescribable.
"On the way to Beiyan, I was intercepted several times, and I found the same cross mark on the corpse, and I always felt that I had smelled the smell on this token." He squinted slightly, as if in some kind of deep thought, and his fingers rubbed the token slightly through the fabric.
However, after he decided to go to Beiyan and hit the road, he was intercepted and killed as soon as he left the East Ember Capital.
Several assassinations, fortunately, his personal guards are well-trained, otherwise he would have died under the knife of this group of people.
The only thing they have in common is this cross, but as for this token, it is the first time it has been discovered. If they were really the same group of people, why did they come to assassinate Qin Changhuan? She's only been here for half a month.
The person who assassinated him may have someone who coveted the position of the crown prince, but what good would it do them to assassinate Qin Changhuan? What do he and Qin Changhuan have in common?
Unconsciously, his deep gaze had been staring at Qin Changhuan for a long time, but he didn't notice it.
Tang Ruoling smirked suddenly, tugged at Tang Ruoxu's sleeve and said, "Third brother, don't look at Sister Qin anymore, fortunately you recognize it, otherwise with Sister Qin's kung fu, you will definitely be beaten all over the ground as a disciple." ”
Tang Ruoxu came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Changhuan, you are injured, it is better to go back to the palace for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise, if the new injury leads to the recurrence of the old injury, it will be difficult to do." ”
Fortunately, Qin Changhuan didn't care about his gaze just now, but Tang Ruoling's mention of the word Dengzi reminded her of Zhan Yunyuan, who was far away in Beiyan.
There was a faint layer of sadness between her eyebrows, she pursed her lips tightly, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at her sincerely, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a step to speak." ”
Tang Ruoxu is easy to give people a sense of trust, but at this moment, whether it is true or not, in the Eastern Ember Capital, she is the only one who can believe him.
On the carriage back to the palace, Qin Changhuan and Tang Ruoxu originally sat facing each other.
Tang Ruoxu opened the medicine box and took out the scissors, "Give me your arm." He stretched out his hand and looked at her quietly, as if he knew what she was going to refute next, and continued, "It's inconvenient for you to take medicine by yourself, although the wound is not deep, but you always have to let me check it for some relief, you are a distinguished guest I invited from Beiyan." Besides, don't you ask me? ”
Qin Changhuan was surprised, and leaned forward, "How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that I have a request for you?" ”
Tang Ruoxu hooked his lips slightly, and a layer of warmth floated on his originally indifferent face, like a spring breeze, which made people feel peaceful.
He lowered his head, the scissors in his hand were as nimble as a sword, and in a few strokes he cut off the excess fabric around the wound, and the sinuous wound lay on the white skin like a fiery snake.
The scissors may have accidentally touched the wound, but Qin Changhuan's face did not even change in the slightest, her endurance was by no means comparable to that of ordinary women.
"Are you really not afraid of pain, or do you think you shouldn't be afraid of pain?"
Tang Ruoxu didn't look at her, but there seemed to be blame in his tone.
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that I should throw myself into His Highness's arms at this moment and beg His Highness to comfort and pity me?" Qin Changhuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the smile only flashed in front of his eyes, and then disappeared.
She seemed to be laughing at herself, and as if she was mocking him for talking to himself.
She, Qin Changhuan, has never been an ordinary woman.
Perhaps, three years ago, she still retained the innocence or expectations that a woman should have, but now she will only believe in those who should believe.
Tang Ruoxu sneered, he shouldn't have asked, but was her heart really so cold that she couldn't receive anyone's attention?
Hurriedly bandaged, he put the medicine box away, "It seems that there is no poison on the knife, as long as the medicine is changed on time, it will be fine in three or five days." ”
After speaking, he took off his black cloak again and helped her tie it.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Changhuan naturally lowered his arm.
He is very skilled in bandaging, and I think he must have been injured many times, or bandaged many times.
Tang Ruoxu smiled, there was a little more helplessness in that smile, her title was really cold, "We have known each other for a long time, perhaps, when there are no outsiders, you can call me Ruoxu." ”
His eyes are affectionate, gentle and with a hint of banter, but under such layers of emotions, there are many people who can't see through.
I don't know what kind of encounter can make him so guarded.
Prince Dong Ember should not be a good seat to sit in. The emperor is in the prime of life, and the East Palace is the most dangerous place in the entire East Ember Palace now.
"Maybe one day, we'll be friends, and I'll call you that." This time, Qin Changhuan didn't say anything.
Suddenly, she saw in him a sense of loneliness that she had never felt before.
Tang Ruoxu stopped forcing her and planned to cut to the chase, but the carriage suddenly bumped, and he subconsciously reached out to support the side wall of the carriage and protected Qin Changhuan strongly.
The distance between the two was only a few millimeters, and even if there was a noise outside the car, they could hear each other's burning breath.
Qin Changhuan's long eyelashes floated up and down, his eyes flickered, and he was facing Tang Ruoxu's eyes.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Lin Zhi's voice came through the curtain of the car, muffled, "I accidentally touched a stone." ”
Although his words interrupted the electric flint just now, Tang Ruoxu didn't want to end this 'game' so quickly, so he said, "It's okay, be careful." ”
Lin Zhi responded and stayed away from the carriage.
Qin Changhuan was impatient, with murderous intent in his eyes, "I thought that His Highness was not a person who was greedy for beauty. ”
Tang Ruoxu laughed and got up, straightened his clothes and said, "Don't worry, I have already gone to find Yunyi and Moon Shadow, if there is any news, I believe it will be transmitted back soon." ”
Qin Changhuan was not surprised, as early as when he said that he knew that he had a request for him, she confirmed that he had already sent someone to find Yunyi and Moon Shadow.
"In addition to this, I have another thing I want to ask Your Highness for help."
This was something Tang Ruoxu didn't expect, but her identity was so mysterious, it could never be as simple as Miss Nine of the Chongyue Family.
He waited for her to speak.
"I beg Your Highness to help me find the regent of Beiyan, a thousand cities." Qin Changhuan said it sincerely.
Tang Ruoxu was surprised, "He? "I didn't expect that.
He guessed that Qiancheng definitely liked Qin Changhuan, but he never thought that Qin Changhuan might also be interested in him, but for some reason, he was not very comfortable in his heart.
